Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sedgars at none against Studio 88 App's shown. Sedgars also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Studio 88 App's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
