Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ADI at 4.8 against Primare App's 2.8. ADI also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 43%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). Primare App's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
