Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TableConnect at none against ResX's 8. TableConnect also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (609 vs 1) and chart position (#11 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
