Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mech Pilot at 4.3 against Consoles's 3.4. Mech Pilot also leads on price ($1.99 vs $7.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). Consoles's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (58% vs 26%). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
