Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sendimals at 4.0 against Anime Maker's 3.4. Sendimals also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). Anime Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 12). On price there is nothing between them.
