Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anchor at 93% against Superfocus's 25%. Anchor also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Superfocus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
