Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cultiv8 at Free against CES Test's $5.99. Cultiv8 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). CES Test's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
