Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tricky Machines at none against Evertech Sandbox's shown. Tricky Machines also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Evertech Sandbox's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 106). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
