Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stash at 100% against Fabric's 62%. Stash also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Fabric's advantage is ratings volume (250 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
