Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Argus at 82% against Outwalk's 46%. Argus also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (36K vs 2.1K). Outwalk's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
