Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lexi Citizenship at 100% against Pinu's 52%. Lexi Citizenship also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Pinu's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
