Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tarneeb! at Free against Trex's $2.99. Tarneeb! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Trex's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (123 vs 2). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
