Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TrueData at 100% against XFR's 43%. TrueData also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 35 months). XFR's advantage is ratings volume (825 vs 11) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
