Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: wording at 4.9 against Sparrows's 4.6. wording also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.2). Sparrows's advantage is ratings volume (782 vs 16). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
