The clearest difference is review sentiment: vive. at 100% against 3Crosses's 33%. vive. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). 3Crosses's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
