Verdict
Pinkberry and 16 Handles both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 57% of Pinkberry's written reviews are positive against 17% of 16 Handles's. Pinkberry also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). 16 Handles's advantage is chart position (#189 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
