Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mac4Ever HD at none against iGeneration's 2. Mac4Ever HD also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.6). iGeneration's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
