Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PENG!uin at 5.0 against Red Ball 2P's 3.4. PENG!uin also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 38%). Red Ball 2P's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
