Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Demonized at 4.8 against Doodle Magic's 4.3. The Demonized also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Doodle Magic's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 48%) and ratings volume (15K vs 3.7K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
