Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Argus at 82% against MoveX's 30%. Argus also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (36K vs 417). MoveX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
