Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Caliber at 5.0 against KelbyOne's 2.2. KelbyOne's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KelbyOne sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Caliber sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Caliber holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KelbyOne has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
