Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DraftDay at 5.0 against MockOut's 3.9. DraftDay also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). MockOut's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (90 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
