Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LUPICIA at none against minne's shown. LUPICIA also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). minne's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (43% vs 16%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
