Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mannequin Challenge at none against Deep Blue's shown. Mannequin Challenge also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 16 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
