Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The OTM Network at 5.0 against Playberry's 3.5. The OTM Network also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Playberry's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (88 vs 2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
