Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LED Banner at none against Show U's shown. LED Banner also leads on ratings volume (82 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Show U's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
