Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Palgo at 5.0 against PointSolutions's 4.4. Palgo also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). PointSolutions's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
