Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cheddar Games at none against Spill Zone's 4. Cheddar Games also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Spill Zone's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
