Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Brawl Stars at 3.1M against Pinatamasters's 71K. Brawl Stars also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). Pinatamasters's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
