Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Blazefront at none against Banana Bunch's shown. Blazefront also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Banana Bunch's advantage is ratings volume (512 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
