Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BattleLore at 4.0 against Concordia's 3.5. BattleLore also leads on price ($6.99 vs $9.99) and review sentiment (56% vs 45%). Concordia's advantage is chart position (#56 vs unranked) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
