Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 2nd try at 99% against Sauce+'s 55%. 2nd try also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 20). Sauce+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
