Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Robot Evolution at 4.8 against Idle Dessert Tycoon's 4.2. Robot Evolution also leads on ratings volume (733 vs 5) and review sentiment (86% vs 61%). Idle Dessert Tycoon's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
