Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flying Defense at 94% against Pitch's 26%. Flying Defense also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). Pitch's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
