Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: McDonald's Japan at 4.6 against A's 3.0. McDonald's Japan also leads on ratings volume (162 vs 1) and review sentiment (31% vs 15%). A's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
