Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GoldByte at none against List Ease's shown. GoldByte also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). List Ease's advantage is ratings volume (54K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
