Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: El Parkin at 5.0 against bicimad's 3.7. El Parkin also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). bicimad's advantage is ratings volume (827 vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
