Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iRagdoll at 78% against Puppet Duel's 20%. iRagdoll also leads on ads (none vs shown). Puppet Duel's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
