Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Apple Knight 2 at Free against Dino Rush's $1.99. Apple Knight 2 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). Dino Rush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
