Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Seance at Free against Ghost Board's $2.99. Seance also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.1). Ghost Board's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
