Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trace at none against Baby Games''s 3. Trace also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (92% vs 82%). Baby Games''s advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (29K vs 128). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
