Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Prokedex at 4.8 against PokeDream Dex's 3.9. Prokedex also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (1K vs 69). PokeDream Dex's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
