Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Patient Zero at 4.6 against Boom Blast's 3.6. Patient Zero also leads on review sentiment (27% vs 16%) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 782). Boom Blast's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
