Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flutter at 73% against Dragon Up!'s 15%. Flutter also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 12 months). Dragon Up!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
