Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Narwal at none against Dice's 1. Narwal also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Dice's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
