Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Rune raid at every 3 days against McPixel's every 27 months. Rune raid also leads on price ($0.49 vs $2.99). McPixel's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 14.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
