Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bahu Shabdee at 5.0 against Sundar Gutka's 4.4. Bahu Shabdee also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Sundar Gutka's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (148 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
