Placid Plastic Duck Simulator's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (257 vs 11). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Placid Plastic Duck Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Placid Plastic Duck Simulator has 257 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pong's written reviews are positive against 91% of Placid Plastic Duck Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
