Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Idle Defense Octopus Evolution at none against Dino Bash's shown. Idle Defense Octopus Evolution also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Dino Bash's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (23K vs 1.9K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
