Verdict

The call

Suipi's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Play Suipi holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 4 respectively.
