Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tophy at 3.2 against Poke's 1.0. Tophy also leads on ratings volume (432 vs 1) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). Poke's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
