Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Pickle at none against Brotato's 10. Space Pickle also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Brotato's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 21). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
