Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: App Dei at none against Saint Joseph's 1. App Dei also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). Saint Joseph's advantage is ratings volume (346 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
