Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: James Coffee at none against Molly's's shown. James Coffee also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Molly's's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
