Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Herpi at none against Animal Class's 1. Herpi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Animal Class's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
