Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Story Architect Mobile at Free against Set Planner's $4.99. Story Architect Mobile also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1). Set Planner's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
