Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Original Pentecostals at none against Ember's shown. The Original Pentecostals also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Ember's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
