Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dropping Birds at none against Teeter Up's 1. Dropping Birds also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Teeter Up's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 1). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
