Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The FOUR at none against Cotton Tree's 6. The FOUR also leads on ads (none vs shown). Cotton Tree's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
