Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Skillduell at 100% against AD Boy's 53%. Skillduell also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). AD Boy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
