Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RaidConnect at none against Pokémon Masters EX's 70. RaidConnect also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Pokémon Masters EX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#32 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
