Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Melldows at 5.0 against Ancient Legacy's 4.1. Melldows also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 9 months). Ancient Legacy's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 2) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
