Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stov at none against Truffle's 3. Stov also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Truffle's advantage is ratings volume (336 vs 1) and chart position (#188 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
