Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PapiJump Collection at none against Whale Trail's 7. PapiJump Collection also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Whale Trail's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 100). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
