Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dist at 100% against Hexapolis's 34%. Dist also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 42) and ads (none vs shown). Hexapolis's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
