Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: duk. at none against Animaze!'s 4. duk. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). Animaze!'s advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
