Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rivalr at 100% against Croissant's 63%. Rivalr also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). Croissant's advantage is ratings volume (199 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
