You are in charge of a special wildlife reserve where you have the important task of revitalizing the land and building a vibrant habitat for Terrapets; mysterious creatures who are the embodiment of the environments that they inhabit. Terrapets from the swamplands are sneaky and vitriolic, while those from the woodlands are steadfast and strong. If the environment is harsh and unforgiving then so too are the Terrapets that live there. There was a time when Terrapets were numerous, but not anymore. You have the power within your hands to return the world to what it once was. You can revitalize Hakawa with a range of different terrain types and customize the environment as you see fit. From frozen tundra and volcanic mountains to thick forests and vast oceans, you have many different options for creating an enticing reservation for all the different Terrapets.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Terrapets at none against Neo Monsters's shown. Terrapets also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Neo Monsters's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 42%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
