Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pace at free with in-app purchases against COA Teams's subscription. Pace also leads on ratings volume (386 vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). COA Teams's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
