Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MeltLand at 4.5 against Splat Wars's 4.0. MeltLand also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 40%). Splat Wars's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 242). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
