Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Baritastic at 79% against Get's 29%. Baritastic also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.4) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 30 months). Get's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
