Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dingu at none against Fishing Hook's 12. Dingu also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Fishing Hook's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price there is nothing between them.
