Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Projectholic at none against Merge Couples's shown. Projectholic also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Projectholic sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Merge Couples sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
