The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Andante at none against Better Retailing's 2. Andante also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Better Retailing's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
