Verdict

The call

Kairobotica and Potion Permit both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Kairobotica's written reviews are positive against 40% of Potion Permit's. Kairobotica also leads on price ($4.99 vs $6.99) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Potion Permit's advantage is ratings volume (519 vs 13) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
