Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Plainview First at none against myGMC's shown. Plainview First also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). myGMC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (442K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
