Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Daily Dadish at 4.4 against PapiMountain's 3.8. Daily Dadish also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (508 vs 5). PapiMountain's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
