Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Blackbird at weekly against Compton's's every 10 months. Blackbird also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 17). Compton's's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 36%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
