Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OmniTools at none against FormatX's 3. OmniTools also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). FormatX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
