Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PickCrafter at 92% against CS GO Case Simulator's 48%. PickCrafter also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (14K vs 2.6K). CS GO Case Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
