Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Chip Chain at none against Guncho's shown. Chip Chain also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Guncho's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (2K vs 98). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
