Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Touch Portal at 4.5 against Clicker's 3.7. Touch Portal also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (55% vs 42%). Clicker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
