Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PapiTrampoline at none against Monster Dash's 19. PapiTrampoline also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (89% vs 62%). Monster Dash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 42). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
