Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Populus Run at none against DeliCat's shown. Populus Run also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2) and device support (5 vs 3). DeliCat's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DeliCat sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Populus Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DeliCat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Populus Run has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of DeliCat's written reviews are positive against 70% of Populus Run's.
