Verdict

The call

DEFA and SaskEnergy both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of DEFA's written reviews are positive against 50% of SaskEnergy's. DEFA also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). SaskEnergy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
