Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Bugs and Buttons at $0.99 against Injini's $29.99. Bugs and Buttons also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). Injini's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
