Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: pythoni2.7 at none against RubySketch's shown. pythoni2.7 also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). RubySketch's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
