Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Product Hunt at 4.8 against MAKE's 4.0. Product Hunt also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 1). MAKE's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Product Hunt holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Product Hunt has 3.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Product Hunt's written reviews are positive against 100% of MAKE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
