Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Laundryvalue at 84% against 311Direct's 27%. Laundryvalue also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 9). 311Direct's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
