Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: UnPlay at $1.99 against Infuse's $99.99. UnPlay also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and chart position (#137 vs unranked). Infuse's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
