Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MadBombz at 4.7 against Pac.io's 4.1. MadBombz also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Pac.io's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (342 vs 23). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
