The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HP Sprocket at none against Dispo's 12. HP Sprocket also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Dispo's advantage is chart position (#154 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
