Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flash Studio at 56% against Pet Door's 3%. Flash Studio also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). Pet Door's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
