Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Subtilizer at none against Thrivestone's 2. Subtilizer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Thrivestone's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
