Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Turtle at none against Avatar Maker's shown. Turtle also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Avatar Maker's advantage is ratings volume (449 vs 5) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Turtle sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $199.99 per year and Avatar Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
