Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Group Spending at none against PokerHoster's shown. Group Spending also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). PokerHoster's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
