Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Direct Kicks at 120 against Pape Talk's 3. Direct Kicks also leads on device support. Pape Talk's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
