Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Frakktus at none against Dream Hopper's shown. Frakktus also leads on chart position (#207 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Dream Hopper's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
