Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BEST at 100% against DATABASICS's 54%. BEST also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8). DATABASICS's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
