Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TwentyFive at none against Main Character's 3. TwentyFive also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Main Character's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
