Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gamejam at none against CloudGear's 3. Gamejam also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). CloudGear's advantage is ratings volume (586 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
