Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: cTrader at weekly against Takion's every 6 weeks. cTrader also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 2). Takion's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
