Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Snowball in Hell at none against Garden Run's shown. Snowball in Hell also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Garden Run's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Snowball in Hell holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Garden Run has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
