Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Causling at 5.0 against DirectorySpot's 3.3. Causling also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). DirectorySpot's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (39 vs 7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
