Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Checkpoint Chaos at 5.0 against PewPew Live's 4.4. Checkpoint Chaos also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). PewPew Live's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
