Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tapmania.org at none against Mineforge VR's shown. Tapmania.org also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and rating (3.9 vs 3.6). Mineforge VR's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 86). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
