Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tallowmere 2 at none against Fox Fire's shown. Tallowmere 2 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (136 vs 9). Fox Fire's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
