Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Line 1d at Free against Paracute's $0.99. Line 1d also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Paracute's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
