Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ecosystem at 4.8 against EVO ISLAND's 2.7. Ecosystem also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). EVO ISLAND's advantage is ratings volume (171 vs 5) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
