Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Lila's World at none against Kid's shown. Lila's World also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 1.4K). Kid's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 45%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
