Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elastic Playground at none against Droid Playground's 19. Elastic Playground also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 53%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Droid Playground's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
