Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MiP Arcade at fortnightly against Droid Depot's every 31 months. MiP Arcade also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). Droid Depot's advantage is rating (3.6 vs 3.3) and review sentiment (56% vs 38%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
