The call

The clearest difference is ads: MarketU. at none against Baker's's shown. MarketU. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Baker's's advantage is ratings volume (7.2K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
