Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Auth.Jc at none against Screens 5's 6. Auth.Jc also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Screens 5's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
