Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Titan HD at none against Dune's 3. Titan HD also leads on price ($4.99 vs $10.99) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). Dune's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
