Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fancy Tale at 84% against Awesome Zoo's 33%. Fancy Tale also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (773 vs 4). Awesome Zoo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
