Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Back2Back at 73% against PlayCloud's 30%. Back2Back also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.3) and ads (none vs shown). PlayCloud's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
