Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GDevelop at 4.3 against Game Ideas's 3.6. GDevelop also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 5) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). Game Ideas's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
