Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: MultiCraft at every 5 days against Exploration Lite's every 6 weeks. MultiCraft also leads on ratings volume (390K vs 23K) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MultiCraft sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Exploration Lite sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
