Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Threes! at 3K against Hundreds's 16. Threes! also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 60%) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). Hundreds's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $5.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
