Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Doodle Alchemy at Free against Doodle Creatures™'s $1.99. Doodle Alchemy also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 39%) and rating (4.6 vs 3.5). Doodle Creatures™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 13 months). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
