Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Hunter at none against Ninja Ranger's shown. Pixel Hunter also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). Ninja Ranger's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (346 vs 25). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
