Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iHunter at 67% against SPYPOINT's 23%. iHunter also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). SPYPOINT's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 50) and ratings volume (41K vs 358). On price, ads, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
