Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Iris Rain at none against YardHopper's 3. Iris Rain also leads on ads (none vs shown). YardHopper's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
