Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NinjAwesome at 93% against Platform Panic's 69%. NinjAwesome also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 124). Platform Panic's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
