Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bastion at 4.6 against Amerzone's 2.7. Bastion also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 21%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 22 months). Amerzone's advantage is iOS requirement (6.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
