Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Claw Machine at none against Tiny Claw Game's 1. Claw Machine also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Tiny Claw Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
