Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Best Date Ever at none against Arkey's shown. Best Date Ever also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 1). Arkey's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
