Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mac4Ever at none against iGeneration's 2. Mac4Ever also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 55%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). iGeneration's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (54 vs 9). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
