Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 942D at none against DDPAI's 4. 942D also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). DDPAI's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (18% vs 0%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
