Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flippy Knife at 4.6 against Touchgrind BMX's 3.8. Flippy Knife also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (36K vs 693). Touchgrind BMX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
