Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScratchMaker at none against Kitaba's 10. ScratchMaker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Kitaba's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 27 months). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
