Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 1 Adventure at 4.1 against Ember Knight's 2.5. 1 Adventure also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). Ember Knight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
