Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Disco Zoo at Free against Scribblenauts Remix's $0.99. Disco Zoo also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.6) and review sentiment (92% vs 50%). Scribblenauts Remix's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
