Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: James Summer at none against BiDot's shown. James Summer also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BiDot sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.79 per month and James Summer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
