Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 3D Wearable Maze at none against ArcEmu's 10. 3D Wearable Maze also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). ArcEmu's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 6) and review sentiment (95% vs 75%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
