Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aardvark Aapp at none against SummitMetrics's 3. Aardvark Aapp also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.2). SummitMetrics's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
