Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gemorize at none against PopStar!'s 1. Gemorize also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). PopStar!'s advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
