Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Emerald Smash at none against Match Morons's 3. Emerald Smash also leads on ads (none vs shown). Match Morons's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
