Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PapiStep at none against Flying Gorilla's 7. PapiStep also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Flying Gorilla's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 60%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 19 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
