Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EoW Companion at 4.7 against TOTK Gears Guide's 4.1. EoW Companion also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 8). TOTK Gears Guide's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
