Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Causality at every 3 months against The Tiny Bang Story's every 8 months. Causality also leads on price ($1.99 vs $4.99). The Tiny Bang Story's advantage is ratings volume (894 vs 185). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
