Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cognizer at 4.4 against Death Drop's 3.9. Cognizer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Death Drop's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
