Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pointcy at 100% against LoungeKey's 21%. Pointcy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). LoungeKey's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
