Verdict

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sushi Bar Idle at 67% against Pasta Machine's 16%. Sushi Bar Idle also leads on ratings volume (333K vs 8.8K) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Pasta Machine's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
