Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Core Image Toy at Free against Haptics's $0.99. Core Image Toy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 57%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). Haptics's advantage is chart position (#92 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
