Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flash Cards + at none against Pretty Random's 5. Flash Cards + also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). Pretty Random's advantage is ratings volume (306 vs 87). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
