Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Home Design Makeover at 130K against My First Makeover's 3K. Home Design Makeover also leads on chart position (#145 vs unranked). My First Makeover's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
