Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DiskDeal at 5.0 against Icarus's 4.0. DiskDeal also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Icarus's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
