Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Win at 86% against Loco Revue's 50%. Win also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Loco Revue's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 18 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
