Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mindbug Online at every 3 weeks against Zombie Dice's every 7 months. Mindbug Online also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (64% vs 47%). Zombie Dice's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 42) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
