Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Poppy at 100% against Fellow's 10%. Poppy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). Fellow's advantage is ratings volume (67 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
