Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BlazeFury at none against Phoenix 2's shown. BlazeFury also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Phoenix 2's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 40). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
