Verdict

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ProDex at 4.9K against PMBattle's 146. ProDex also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). PMBattle's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
