Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dekala at 4.3 against magical home's 2.1. Dekala also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (404 vs 16). magical home's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
