Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: My Optimum at none against Cellcard's shown. My Optimum also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (90K vs 3K). Cellcard's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
