Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Winter Snow Globe at none against Banana Split!'s shown. Winter Snow Globe also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Banana Split!'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
