Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mad Evolution at 4.2 against Factory Frontier's 3.4. Mad Evolution also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 14) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Factory Frontier's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 40%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
