Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Equations Game at none against Book Creator One's 1. The Equations Game also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Book Creator One's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 23 months). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
