Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OptionGenius at none against Trader's 3. OptionGenius also leads on ratings volume (76 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). Trader's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 32 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
