Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Shiny Pebbles at free against AeraForHome's free with in-app purchases. Shiny Pebbles also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). AeraForHome's advantage is ratings volume (5.4K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
