Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Darts Scoreboard at 83% against PDC's 14%. Darts Scoreboard also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 89). PDC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
