Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Super Starfish at 87% against Glides's 47%. Super Starfish also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (29K vs 564). Glides's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
