Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: YMOBD at none against Fileen's shown. YMOBD also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Fileen's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
