Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ravinia at none against Pick the Game's shown. Ravinia also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 8). Pick the Game's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
