Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Monster Strike Arena at none against Brickforge's 10. Monster Strike Arena also leads on ads (none vs shown). Brickforge's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
