The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mekorama at 94% against Tiny Machinery's 54%. Mekorama also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (8.9K vs 45). Tiny Machinery's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mekorama sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Machinery sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
