Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Playbypoint at none against [solidcore]'s shown. Playbypoint also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). [solidcore]'s advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
