Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Coromon at none against Animation Throwdown's shown. Coromon also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Animation Throwdown's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (43K vs 3.5K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Animation Throwdown sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Coromon sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Animation Throwdown against 4.9 for Coromon.
