Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Carrion at Free against RAYCRISIS's $11.99. Carrion also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 13) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). RAYCRISIS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
