Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Super16Bit at 4.5 against AD Boy's 3.6. Super16Bit also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 53%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). AD Boy's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (313 vs 26). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
