Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 5absa at Free against Trex's $2.99. 5absa also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Trex's advantage is ratings volume (123 vs 1) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
