Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stay Alive at none against KOMIT's 2. Stay Alive also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). KOMIT's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
