Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Color Memory at none against Bird Alone's 3. Color Memory also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Bird Alone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
