Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ladder.io at 54% against OverTake's 7%. Ladder.io also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). OverTake's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 2.2K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
