Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Persnickety's at none against The Cupboard's 6. Persnickety's also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). The Cupboard's advantage is ratings volume (218 vs 5) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
