Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Puzzles & Conquest at none against RAID's shown. Puzzles & Conquest also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 44%). RAID's advantage is ratings volume (530K vs 7.3K) and chart position (#24 vs #117). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
