I stuck with it longer than most people would with a couple of accounts, which made the differences much easier to see. In my testing, the honesty of the pricing page drives the outcome more than luck does. The difference persisted more than once long after the novelty had worn off. Your area may behave differently in the end, depending on where you are.

I did the comparison properly once properly, and the numbers told a clearer story than I did. More than anything, how much depth the profiles allow is what people are really complaining about. The contrast was sharpest reliably no matter how I adjusted the filters. Treat it as a starting point in the end, and revise it freely.

The questions I ask before installing anything now:

  • How many prompts the profile format offers
  • Look at how long before the first upsell prompt appears — the difference between options is large here.
  • Check how the app handles duplicate accounts
  • Worth confirming whether notifications can be tuned — most apps are quiet about this.

I tested a handful of these back to back in my own time, rather than just skimming a couple of apps. The thing nobody mentions is that how easy it is to delete an account is easy to check and almost never checked. That held consistently enough to trust even accounting for luck. I would sanity-check this locally genuinely, and I would not pretend otherwise.
