Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Y at none against HEALBE's 1. Y also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). HEALBE's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (45% vs 32%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
