Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Steer Madness at none against Fox Fire's 7. Steer Madness also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 70%). Fox Fire's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
