Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ballcrank at 5.0 against DUPR's 4.1. Ballcrank also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). DUPR's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
