Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Barkle at Free against Streaks's $5.99. Barkle also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Streaks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ratings volume (27K vs 6). On update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
