Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cave Balloon at none against Primal Pitch's shown. Cave Balloon also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Primal Pitch's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
