Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dartmouth Groups at none against Orphi's shown. Dartmouth Groups also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Orphi's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
