Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Carrot Express at 3.1 against Macondo's 2.3. Carrot Express also leads on review sentiment (19% vs 0%) and ratings volume (171 vs 6). Macondo's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
