Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GoodEye at none against XMEye's shown. GoodEye also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 13.0). XMEye's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (879 vs 38). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
