Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Subli at Free against Festival's $2.99. Subli also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%). Festival's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
