Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BattleWire at none against Trapped's 3. BattleWire also leads on ratings volume (34 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Trapped's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
