Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Google at Free against iUSB's $0.99. Google also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). iUSB's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
