Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Back Pew Brewing at 5.0 against Tex's 4.3. Back Pew Brewing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tex's advantage is ratings volume (288 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
