The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ashmedia at 100% against Confide's 33%. Ashmedia also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Confide's advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 8) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
