Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MOCHI at 4.9 against Dicefolk's 4.3. MOCHI also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (97% vs 77%). Dicefolk's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
