Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Neut.US at 100% against Causes's 29%. Neut.US also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Causes's advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 16) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
