Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PromoPlay at 100% against Ballbutton's 50%. PromoPlay also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Ballbutton's advantage is ratings volume (516 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
