Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ドットアップ at none against Grow Heroes's 7. ドットアップ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Grow Heroes's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
