Verdict

The call

OmniLogic and Clorox Pool both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of OmniLogic's written reviews are positive against 14% of Clorox Pool's. OmniLogic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Clorox Pool's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 8.8K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
