Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Depressio at none against Depression Test's 4. Depressio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Depression Test's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
