Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MudMonster at Free against Kaamos's $3.99. MudMonster also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). Kaamos's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
