Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mind Rabbit at none against VirtualHamster's 1. Mind Rabbit also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). VirtualHamster's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
