Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CMD at none against Pyroid's 3. CMD also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (95% vs 80%). Pyroid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
