Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Redungeon at none against Only One's shown. Redungeon also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Only One's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 1.4K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
