Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DuoSync at none against PokeRaid's 10. DuoSync also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). PokeRaid's advantage is chart position (#126 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
