Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Airplane Retro at none against Pasta Machine's 22. Airplane Retro also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pasta Machine's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
