Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Network at none against Ping's 1. Network also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 14.0). Ping's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
