Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Powerhitz at 4.1 against Second Life's 3.5. Powerhitz also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5). Second Life's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 32 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
