Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 29CM at none against SAZO.SHOP's shown. 29CM also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). SAZO.SHOP's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
