Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Detroit Connected at none against Abide's shown. Detroit Connected also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (4 vs 2). Abide's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
