Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: True Talk at none against AFO MEDIA's 1. True Talk also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). AFO MEDIA's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
