Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EnergyPoints at 4.9 against Visual Acupuncture 3D's 4.6. EnergyPoints also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (86% vs 76%). Visual Acupuncture 3D's advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 17) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
