Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: THE HAWG at none against Miss 98's shown. THE HAWG also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Miss 98's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
