Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Classic at none against Dragons Evolution's 10. Classic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Dragons Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
