Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Blek at 4.5 against TouchTone™'s 3.4. Blek also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 52%) and ratings volume (811 vs 87). TouchTone™'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months) and price ($2.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
