Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MagicStrip at none against Triones's shown. MagicStrip also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 19%) and ratings volume (991 vs 47). Triones's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
