Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Microhouse Films at none against Akcru's shown. Microhouse Films also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (38 vs 3). Akcru's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
