Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: KeepUply at none against Make's shown. KeepUply also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Make's advantage is ratings volume (198 vs 5) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
