Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Hamster Town at fortnightly against Piffle's monthly. Hamster Town also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Piffle's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 2.3K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Piffle sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Hamster Town sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Piffle against 4.7 for Hamster Town. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Piffle has 22K ratings behind it against 2.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Piffle's written reviews are positive against 83% of Hamster Town's.
