Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Studio 8 at none against Carb Manager's 10. Studio 8 also leads on iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 15.6). Carb Manager's advantage is ratings volume (737K vs 1) and chart position (#125 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
