Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: The Creeps! Tower Defense at Free against Tiny Defense's $2.99. The Creeps! Tower Defense also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks). Tiny Defense's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On review sentiment, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
