Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Metron Comics at none against DC UNIVERSE INFINITE's 10. Metron Comics also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). DC UNIVERSE INFINITE's advantage is ratings volume (58K vs 1) and chart position (#68 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
