Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AutoRes at none against ResX's 8. AutoRes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (764 vs 11) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
