Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Death Worm™ at Free against Super Mega Worm's $1.99. Death Worm™ also leads on ratings volume (57K vs 147) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Super Mega Worm's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On review sentiment, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
