Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dungeon Core at Free against Lost Mastery's $2.99. Dungeon Core also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 50%) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Lost Mastery's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
