Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dragon Evolution at 4.7 against Tiny Monsters™'s 4.0. Dragon Evolution also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 59%) and ratings volume (15K vs 588). Tiny Monsters™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
