Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: tpMiFi at 77% against D's 16%. tpMiFi also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2). D's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 815). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
