Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Exploding 7's at none against Planet Tactics's shown. Exploding 7's also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Planet Tactics's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
