Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Soonshot at 100% against iDramas's 7%. Soonshot also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). iDramas's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
