Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Growtopia at Free against Multiplayer Terraria edition's $4.99. Growtopia also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 2.4K). Multiplayer Terraria edition's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 24) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
