Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Build a Fire at none against Fire Rain's 5. Build a Fire also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Fire Rain's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
