Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Open at 4.6 against Go Pack Go's 2.5. The Open also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 2). Go Pack Go's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
