Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Morse Code at none against Signalist's shown. Morse Code also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Signalist's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
