Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: RandomFunny at none against The Chosen's shown. RandomFunny also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). The Chosen's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 3) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
