Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Push at none against PhilPower's 1. Push also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). PhilPower's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
