Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: App Chart at every 2 days against Google Play Console's every 6 weeks. Google Play Console's advantage is chart position (#38 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
