Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Greedy Goblin at none against Magic vs Metal's shown. Greedy Goblin also leads on update cadence (daily vs monthly) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Magic vs Metal's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 65). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
