Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StackMeme at none against Dopameme's 2. StackMeme also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (93% vs 84%). Dopameme's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (8K vs 28). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
