Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Idometrics at none against Damus's 2. Idometrics also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Damus's advantage is ratings volume (673 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
