Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SaveIt at 5.0 against iDatabase's 4.4. SaveIt also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). iDatabase's advantage is ratings volume (510 vs 2) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
