Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Every So at none against Before You Go's 1. Every So also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Before You Go's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 14 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
