Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dino Evolution at 4.7 against sp's 3.7. Dino Evolution also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 65%) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 140). sp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
