Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dog Merge Evolution at 2.7K against HoboEvolution's 2. Dog Merge Evolution also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). HoboEvolution's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
