Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pool at 4.6 against Gasketball™'s 4.1. Pool also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (72K vs 1.6K). Gasketball™'s advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
