Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Platealo at none against Biter's 2. Platealo also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Biter's advantage is chart position (#144 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
