Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sequel at 93% against Edge magazine's 45%. Sequel also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Edge magazine's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
