Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Popcorn Chef 2 at none against Happy Pudding Jump's 6. Popcorn Chef 2 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Happy Pudding Jump's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
