Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Down to Zero at 5.0 against Overpaint's 3.8. Down to Zero also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Overpaint's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (133 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
