Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rekkit at none against CatchUp's 3. Rekkit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). CatchUp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (46 vs 5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
