The clearest difference is ads: Maker Garage at none against Contracted's shown. Maker Garage also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Contracted's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
