Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: NightClose at none against Contour's shown. NightClose also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Contour's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
