Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Party Squasher at free against OmniLogic's free with in-app purchases. Party Squasher also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). OmniLogic's advantage is ratings volume (8.8K vs 8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
