Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Goosechase at 13K against Cover Stock's 11. Cover Stock's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Goosechase's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cover Stock's.
