Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hoop Gangs at 5.0 against Brobuddy's 4.5. Hoop Gangs also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Brobuddy's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
