Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Braineon at none against Color Drift's shown. Braineon also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Color Drift's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (23 vs 4). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
