Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Phoenix 2 at Free against Tesla vs Lovecraft's $8.99. Phoenix 2 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (26K vs 71). Tesla vs Lovecraft's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
