Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cinched at 100% against Croissant's 62%. Cinched also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and chart position (#189 vs unranked). Croissant's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (548 vs 8). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
