Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IBE® at none against FinLiteracy's 2. IBE® also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). FinLiteracy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
