Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 10yen at 5.0 against Build a Fire's 2.8. 10yen also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 31%). Build a Fire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
