Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Splash at none against Rolly Vortex's shown. Splash also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 53%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 14.0). Rolly Vortex's advantage is ratings volume (305K vs 1.8K) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rolly Vortex sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Rolly Vortex holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rolly Vortex has 305K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Splash's written reviews are positive against 53% of Rolly Vortex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
