Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MPF E at none against Physics at school LITE's shown. MPF E also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Physics at school LITE's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
