Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spacedots at 100% against Stickman's 40%. Spacedots also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Stickman's advantage is ratings volume (322 vs 14). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
