Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Salsa Master App at Free against Pocket Salsa's $9.99. Salsa Master App also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Pocket Salsa's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (560 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
