Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: 99Vidas at every 3 days against NinjAwesome's every 11 months. 99Vidas also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). NinjAwesome's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 9) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
