Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PUBG MOBILE at none against Special Forces Group 2's shown. PUBG MOBILE also leads on ratings volume (1.6M vs 15K) and chart position (#3 vs #176). Special Forces Group 2's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 53%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
