Verdict

The call

One Man and Punch Machine both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of One Man's written reviews are positive against 23% of Punch Machine's. One Man also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Punch Machine's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (11K vs 90). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
