Verdict
SQUIRE™ and Square Go both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Square Go's written reviews are positive against 40% of SQUIRE™'s. Square Go also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
