Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Examen CVQ at none against Cello Key's 1. Examen CVQ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). Cello Key's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
