Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: e at none against APTV's shown. e also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). APTV's advantage is chart position (#48 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
