Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Finger Bells at 5.0 against MarcMoerd's 4.3. Finger Bells also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.5.6). MarcMoerd's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
