Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Constella at every 10 days against Funnel's every 6 weeks. Constella also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Funnel's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 10). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
