Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Raider at Free against Evoland's $2.99. Raider also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). Evoland's advantage is ratings volume (330 vs 27) and chart position (#194 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
