Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lectron at 57% against Voltage's 0%. Lectron also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.2). Voltage's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
