Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Monsters Project at none against Seashine's 6. Monsters Project also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Seashine's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 93 months) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 13). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
