Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Crying Suns at 4.8 against Immortal Rogue's 4.2. Crying Suns also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 193) and chart position (#85 vs unranked). Immortal Rogue's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and price ($4.99 vs $8.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
