Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hamster Town at Free against Mouse About's $0.99. Hamster Town also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months). Mouse About's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
