Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MudMonster at Free against Scriver's $4.99. MudMonster also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Scriver's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 2) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
