Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Neon Splash at 4.7 against Penetrator's 3.7. Neon Splash also leads on ratings volume (42K vs 9) and review sentiment (62% vs 38%). Penetrator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
