Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gecko Pet at none against Chameleon Evolution's 14. Gecko Pet also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Chameleon Evolution's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 32 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
