Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ditching Work2 at none against カニゲーム's shown. Ditching Work2 also leads on ratings volume (177 vs 16). カニゲーム's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
