Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Slug Pug at none against Pancake Art's shown. Slug Pug also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Pancake Art's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 71 months) and ratings volume (19K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
