Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anchor at 100% against TestNav's 24%. Anchor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). TestNav's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (99 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
