Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Melty Bubble at Free against Phonics Digraphs Game's $0.99. Melty Bubble also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 2). Phonics Digraphs Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
