Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Card Throwing! at weekly against Pokémon Quest's every 6 months. Card Throwing! also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Pokémon Quest's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 24). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
