Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Y at none against Jig Match's 7. Y also leads on ads (none vs shown). Jig Match's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
