Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Match 3 Snake at Free against Monkey Ninja's $0.99. Match 3 Snake also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months). Monkey Ninja's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
