Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Groups at 4.9 against PE Games's 3.8. Groups also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 67%). PE Games's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
