Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Walking Games at free with in-app purchases against Motivation Cookie's subscription. Walking Games also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 48%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). Motivation Cookie's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
