Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FWZ at 100% against Phantasialand's 36%. FWZ also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Phantasialand's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
