Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Platano Game at none against Van's 10. Platano Game also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Van's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 9). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
