Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GV at 4.3 against SunApp Augmented Reality's 3.0. GV also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 4) and review sentiment (20% vs 0%). SunApp Augmented Reality's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
