Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: APBI at none against Expresso's 13. APBI also leads on ads (none vs shown). Expresso's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
