Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pintar at none against Baduk Dojo's 1. Pintar also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Baduk Dojo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
