Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ElevateIQ at 4.6 against Fire's 2.5. ElevateIQ also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 2). Fire's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
