Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Playbypoint at none against [solidcore]'s shown. Playbypoint also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). [solidcore]'s advantage is chart position (#144 vs unranked) and ratings volume (29K vs 4.3K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
