Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Seashine at none against Horizon's shown. Seashine also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 60%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Horizon's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 4.9K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
