Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TLC at 100% against CMA Mobile's 43%. TLC also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). CMA Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
