Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Eggtopia at none against Striving's 3. Eggtopia also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). Striving's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 3) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
