Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wheel Shift at none against Pancake Art's 2. Wheel Shift also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). Pancake Art's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 203). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
