Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Arcade1Up at 4.8 against Prodigy Dartboard's 3.8. Arcade1Up also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 16) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). Prodigy Dartboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
