Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Battle Bay at 64K against Pirate Code's 3.9K. Pirate Code's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Battle Bay sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Pirate Code sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Battle Bay against 4.6 for Pirate Code.
