Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Winner at 4.4 against Brackelope's 3.5. Winner also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 55%). Brackelope's advantage is iOS requirement (9.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
