Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 9 Kings at 62% against Go's 0%. 9 Kings also leads on chart position (#106 vs unranked). Go's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
