Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GTA III at Free against Moonlight's $0.99. GTA III also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (631 vs 4). Moonlight's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
