Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Stupid Zombies 3 at free with in-app purchases against Monster Dash's subscription. Stupid Zombies 3 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (87% vs 62%). Monster Dash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
