Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Byte at 100% against Mega Tower's 50%. Byte also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Mega Tower's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
