Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Project Blacksmith at none against Choco Store's 17. Project Blacksmith also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (20% vs 6%). Choco Store's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (596 vs 116). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Choco Store holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Choco Store has 596 ratings behind it against 116, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Project Blacksmith's written reviews are positive against 6% of Choco Store's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
