Verdict

The call

Conscious and Reckond both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Reckond's written reviews are positive against 45% of Conscious's. Reckond also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and device support (3 vs 1). Conscious's advantage is ratings volume (783 vs 2) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
