Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Merge Unicorn at none against Dragon Evolution's shown. Merge Unicorn also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Dragon Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 338) and review sentiment (87% vs 77%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
