Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NA3 at 5.0 against SPHL's 4.3. NA3 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). SPHL's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
