Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Undersea at none against Super Starfish's 10. Undersea also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (96% vs 87%). Super Starfish's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 99) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Super Starfish holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Starfish has 30K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Undersea's written reviews are positive against 87% of Super Starfish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
