Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PkMania at none against Nova Drama's shown. PkMania also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Nova Drama's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 1) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
