Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Goated at none against Pick's 1. Goated also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (29 vs 3). Pick's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
