Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Start at 3.0 against Sailor knots's 2.3. Start also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 18%). Sailor knots's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
