Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ciright Works at none against NotaryAct's 2. Ciright Works also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). NotaryAct's advantage is ratings volume (105 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
