Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Black Lollipop at none against Character Maker's 13. Black Lollipop also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Character Maker's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 1.2K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
