Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Nekosan at 4.6 against Squaredance's 4.1. Nekosan also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (869 vs 57). Squaredance's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
