Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Water vs Fire at none against Project Salon's 13. Water vs Fire also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Project Salon's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
