Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Detroit Connected at none against Ember's shown. Detroit Connected also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (4 vs 2). Ember's advantage is ratings volume (6.9K vs 1) and chart position (#166 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Detroit Connected against 4.9 for Ember. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ember has 6.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Detroit Connected's written reviews are positive against 93% of Ember's.
