Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pace+ at 100% against E's 22%. Pace+ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). E's advantage is ratings volume (82 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
