Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pinnacle Cup at 5.0 against NorCal's 2.5. Pinnacle Cup also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). NorCal's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
