Verdict

The call

PowerScale and My Ranking both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of PowerScale's written reviews are positive against 0% of My Ranking's. PowerScale also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). My Ranking's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
