Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Monster Era at none against Catopia's shown. Monster Era also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Catopia's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
