Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Volt at 75% against PLT4M's 23%. Volt also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). PLT4M's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
