Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Disco Zoo at Free against Doodle Farm™'s $2.99. Disco Zoo also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 28 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Doodle Farm™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
