Melldows is a tiny, cozy world-building toy with no goals, scores, or pressure. Shape a small piece of land into your own peaceful place. Sculpt the terrain, grow forests and flowers, draw winding paths, and build a quiet little village. Watch the world come alive with changing light, gentle wildlife, and seasonal colors. There is nothing to win and no correct way to play. Create a wild garden, a hidden settlement, or simply relax and see where your ideas take you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DIY Diorama at Free against Melldows's $1.99. DIY Diorama also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Melldows's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
