Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: SISTIC at every 5 weeks against iGV's every 4 months. SISTIC also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). iGV's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
