Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dice And Deploy at none against MeltLand's 5. Dice And Deploy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). MeltLand's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
