Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PaddleTaps at none against My DUPR Coach's 3. PaddleTaps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). My DUPR Coach's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

PaddleTaps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My DUPR Coach has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
