Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: murmeli at none against Epic Game Maker's shown. murmeli also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Epic Game Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (70% vs 56%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
