Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gswap at 100% against iAquaLink's 28%. Gswap also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). iAquaLink's advantage is ratings volume (101K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
