Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flapping Cage at none against Bad Piggies's 12. Flapping Cage also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.2). Bad Piggies's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 73) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
