Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Explo'r@de at none against Rhodes's 1. Explo'r@de also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). Rhodes's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
