Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gujarati Learner at none against Bhol's 6. Gujarati Learner also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Bhol's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
