Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sabrinalert at free with in-app purchases against 2nd try's subscription. Sabrinalert also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). 2nd try's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 269). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
