Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Yaniv at none against Yaniv's shown. Yaniv also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). Yaniv's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
