Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPixel at 79% against Formula Circuits's 0%. GPixel also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (517 vs 1). Formula Circuits's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
