Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RAID at 4.7 against Hex Warriors's 3.8. RAID also leads on ratings volume (528K vs 13) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Hex Warriors's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
