Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Talouselämä at none against HS's shown. Talouselämä also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). HS's advantage is ratings volume (458 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
