Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PLAYKUROUND at none against EscapeSP's shown. PLAYKUROUND also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). EscapeSP's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
