Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dream Hopper at 4.9 against Cub8's 4.4. Dream Hopper also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 63%) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 51). Cub8's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
