Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: dHome at none against Concepts's 10. dHome also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Concepts's advantage is chart position (#170 vs unranked) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
