Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Wasteful Button at Free against Eden's $1.99. Wasteful Button also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Eden's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 21). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
