Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flying Gorilla at 4.9 against PapiMountain's 3.8. Flying Gorilla also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 59%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 24 months). PapiMountain's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
