Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Google at 4.6 against Bitmoji's 4.0. Google also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 21%) and ratings volume (5.1M vs 108K). Bitmoji's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 37) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
