Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Endless Wander at 4.8 against PocketCrawler's 3.6. Endless Wander also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 12). PocketCrawler's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
