Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScentMax at 92% against Perfumedia's 33%. ScentMax also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (306 vs 13). Perfumedia's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
