Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Bacon Escape 2 at every 9 days against MouseBot's every 4 months. Bacon Escape 2 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.7K vs 1.1K). MouseBot's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 73%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bacon Escape 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.1K and 5.7K respectively.
