Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TRGC at 5.0 against FishDonkey's 4.0. TRGC also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). FishDonkey's advantage is ratings volume (86 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
