Verdict

The call

Catch Up and Sling Drift both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Catch Up's written reviews are positive against 47% of Sling Drift's. Catch Up also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). Sling Drift's advantage is ratings volume (287K vs 11K) and chart position (#108 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
