Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: DirtyJoe at none against Pyramid's shown. DirtyJoe also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pyramid's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
