Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JayC at 4.7 against My IGA's 3.7. JayC also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). My IGA's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
