Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Sauce+ at Free against Plezy's $5.99. Sauce+ also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.5). Plezy's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and review sentiment (75% vs 55%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
