Welcome to Granny. Granny keeps you locked in her house. Now you have to try to get out of her house, but be careful and quiet. She hears everything. If you drop something on the floor, she hears it and comes running. You can hide in wardrobes or under beds. You have 5 days. Good luck! The game contains advertisement.
Ranger Jim

Protect the wildlife from the infuriating annoyance of the bouncy balls. Dodge the balls as they bounce over you but be careful! When hit they split in two, making double the trouble! The game features eight different types of power-up and two distinct play modes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Granny at Free against Ranger Jim's $1.99. Granny also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and chart position (#201 vs unranked). Ranger Jim's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
