Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Into the Cauldron at none against Cow Evolution's 12. Into the Cauldron also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 10 days). Cow Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
