Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Survanoid at 100% against Dig Odyssey's 39%. Survanoid also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.4). Dig Odyssey's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
