Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Doodle Alchemy at Free against Doodle Kingdom™'s $0.99. Doodle Alchemy also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 40%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Doodle Kingdom™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 13 months). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
