The clearest difference is ads: E at none against Bunch is MiniParty!'s shown. E also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (69% vs 47%). Bunch is MiniParty!'s advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 2.3K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
