Verdict
The clearest difference is price: eClicker at $4.99 against SDR's $44.99. eClicker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). SDR's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
