Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AFRIKARS at 100% against Konga's 23%. AFRIKARS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Konga's advantage is ratings volume (186 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
