Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Modstack at Free against The Tiny Bang Story's $4.99. Modstack also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 8 months). The Tiny Bang Story's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#100 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
