Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The DailyHoroscope at 94% against The Pattern's 42%. The DailyHoroscope also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (96K vs 16K). The Pattern's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
