Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: One Epic Knight at free with in-app purchases against Monster Dash's subscription. One Epic Knight also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (74% vs 62%). Monster Dash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
