Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: المرجع at none against local platform's 15. المرجع also leads on ads (none vs shown). local platform's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
