Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YorePath at none against Spark's 14. YorePath also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Spark's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
