Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: put.io at none against Outplayer's 1. put.io also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Outplayer's advantage is ratings volume (502 vs 97). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
