Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smart stove at none against RedX Decks's 10. Smart stove also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). RedX Decks's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 10 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
