Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tiny Pharaoh at Free against Pochemeow's $2.99. Tiny Pharaoh also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Pochemeow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
