Verdict

The call

The Game Master Network and First To Life both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of The Game Master Network's written reviews are positive against 39% of First To Life's. The Game Master Network also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). First To Life's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and ratings volume (26K vs 4.4K). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
