Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mech Pilot Lite at none against Celtic Heroes's 10. Mech Pilot Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Celtic Heroes's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
