Verdict

The call

PPKP and Tap Ninja both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of PPKP's written reviews are positive against 66% of Tap Ninja's. PPKP also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 538). Tap Ninja's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
