Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DoodleBack at 4.8 against GameChat's 3.0. DoodleBack also leads on ratings volume (47 vs 2). GameChat's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support 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. DoodleBack sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. GameChat asks for nothing beyond the download.
DoodleBack holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoodleBack has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of DoodleBack's written reviews are positive against 100% of GameChat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
