Verdict

The call

Backdrops and PitWall Club both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of Backdrops's written reviews are positive against 37% of PitWall Club's. Backdrops also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 267) and device support (3 vs 1). PitWall Club's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
