Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Arcade1Up at 67% against Cressi's 4%. Arcade1Up also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.1) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 7). Cressi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
