Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TuneDay at none against Cantilever's 2. TuneDay also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). Cantilever's advantage is chart position (#186 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
