The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mrs. Mesal Murder at none against Orphans's 11. Mrs. Mesal Murder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Orphans's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
