Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cecconoid at none against Pocket Build's 10. Cecconoid also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Pocket Build's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 73 months). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
