Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Maker Valley at none against Tinibit's 6. Maker Valley also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and chart position (#121 vs unranked). Tinibit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
