Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Carrion at none against Death Worm™'s shown. Carrion also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Death Worm™'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (57K vs 1.8K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
