The clearest difference is rating: Pancake Run at 4.6 against Jewelex's 4.0. Pancake Run also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Jewelex's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
