Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Digfender at 4.7 against Broken Universe's 3.8. Digfender also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 70%) and ratings volume (1K vs 32). Broken Universe's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
