Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iMediaOut at 4.5 against USB Sharp's 3.1. iMediaOut also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (76% vs 53%). USB Sharp's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
