Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: BGTC at free against iAquaLink's free with in-app purchases. BGTC also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). iAquaLink's advantage is ratings volume (101K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
