Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Catch the Soft Serve at none against ぴんぴん's 1. Catch the Soft Serve also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). ぴんぴん's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
