The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pope Tweets at 4.8 against Vatican.va's 4.1. Pope Tweets also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Vatican.va's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (58% vs 33%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Pope Tweets holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 36 and 28 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Vatican.va's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pope Tweets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
