Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mech Dungeon at Free against A Hero Alpha's $2.99. Mech Dungeon also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). A Hero Alpha's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On ads there is nothing between them.
