82/100

Google Play Console excels for teams focused on app distribution, store optimization, and post-launch analytics. Release managers and marketers benefit most from its A/B testing and rollout controls. However, development teams will struggle as it lacks coding environments, debugging tools, and integrated IDE features required for building applications.

80/100

Google Developers suits teams building across web, mobile, and cloud rather than just Android. Full-stack and cloud engineers benefit most from the expanded toolkit, while pure mobile developers may find the extra complexity unnecessary. Product teams gain access to analytics and ML capabilities not available in the Android-only ecosystem.
