Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TruNorthApp at 100% against C's 41%. TruNorthApp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). C's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (166 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
