Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stellar at 100% against WaterMelon Games's 57%. Stellar also leads on ads (none vs shown). WaterMelon Games's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
