Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dots at none against Fav Talk's 7. Dots also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). Fav Talk's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price there is nothing between them.
