Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pipe Quest at none against Wizards Orb's 7. Pipe Quest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 22 months). Wizards Orb's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.5). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
