Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ikodoku at none against Smurfs Magic Match's shown. Ikodoku also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Smurfs Magic Match's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
