The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Oddmar at every 6 days against Riptide GP's every 11 months. Oddmar also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 827) and iOS requirement (11.4 vs 15.0). Riptide GP's advantage is chart position (#55 vs unranked) and price ($2.99 vs $4.99). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
