Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pegs Basic at none against SET's 19. Pegs Basic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). SET's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 8). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
