Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Multi at 4.5 against Catan Assistant's 2.2. Multi also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 23%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Catan Assistant's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
