Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Monsters Project at 5.0 against Carrion's 4.4. Monsters Project also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 70%). Carrion's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 93 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 11). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
