Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Play Console at none against MetricDeck's 1. Google Play Console also leads on chart position (#35 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). MetricDeck's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
