Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ThumbDash at none against Catedrop's shown. ThumbDash also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Catedrop's advantage is ratings volume (6.5K vs 1) and chart position (#137 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
