Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Kayos at 4.6 against PAKO 3's 4.0. Kayos also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 43%) and ads (none vs shown). PAKO 3's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
