Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GameMate at none against PointTally's 3. GameMate also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). PointTally's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
