Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ThingsBook at none against The Rescued Pack's shown. ThingsBook also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). The Rescued Pack's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
