Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Stage Dive Legends at none against War Tortoise's shown. War Tortoise's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 29 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
