Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DigiTrainsPro at 100% against Linksys's 21%. DigiTrainsPro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Linksys's advantage is ratings volume (98K vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
