Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: USB Sharp Pro at 4.0 against XCTLY's 3.5. USB Sharp Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 27 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). XCTLY's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 60%) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
