Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Cafe at 4.8 against Inhuman Resources's 4.2. Tiny Cafe also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 182) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Inhuman Resources's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
