Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Amazon Prime Video at 4.8 against PLAY Games's 2.8. Amazon Prime Video also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (3.1M vs 18). PLAY Games's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PLAY Games sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Amazon Prime Video sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
