Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Herstart at freemium against CLOSURE's subscription. Herstart also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). CLOSURE's advantage is ratings volume (75 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
