Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flip's Challenge at none against Close Cities's 4. Flip's Challenge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 69%). Close Cities's advantage is ratings volume (356 vs 25) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Close Cities sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Flip's Challenge asks for nothing beyond the download.
Close Cities holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Close Cities has 356 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Flip's Challenge's written reviews are positive against 69% of Close Cities's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
