Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Move the Dotz at none against Oculux's shown. Move the Dotz also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Oculux's advantage is ratings volume (198 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
