Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TAY Wakeup at 100% against Equinox+'s 28%. TAY Wakeup also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Equinox+'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (45K vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
