Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rice Race at none against Piffle's 12. Rice Race also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). Piffle's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (22K vs 140). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
