Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pyro by KG at none against DTBA's 4. Pyro by KG also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). DTBA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
