Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fall Away at 5.0 against Hot Lava's 4.1. Fall Away also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Hot Lava's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
