Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Stone Candles at every 3 weeks against Bewilderment's every 2 months. Stone Candles also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Bewilderment's advantage is ratings volume (366 vs 44). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
