Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HoboEvolution at 100% against Merge Farm!'s 46%. HoboEvolution also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Merge Farm!'s advantage is ratings volume (7.4K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
