Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Fishing Break at Free against Monkey Flight's $1.99. Fishing Break also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 154). Monkey Flight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (92% vs 76%). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
