Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Monkey! at none against Animation Creator's 5. My Monkey! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Animation Creator's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (28K vs 20). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
