Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: VolksWorld at free with in-app purchases against Tentacle Pulp's subscription. VolksWorld also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). Tentacle Pulp's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
