Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Path to Nowhere at none against Epic Seven's shown. Path to Nowhere also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 56%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Epic Seven's advantage is chart position (#56 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
