Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Maratón at 4.8 against Elsevier Games's 1.0. Maratón also leads on ratings volume (309 vs 3). Elsevier Games's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
