Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Lucky at every 2 weeks against ScummVM's every 4 months. Lucky also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). ScummVM's advantage is ratings volume (109 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 27.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
