Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NinjAwesome at 4.8 against Combo Crew's 4.2. NinjAwesome also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 46) and review sentiment (93% vs 80%). Combo Crew's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
