The clearest difference is rating: Random Room Escape at 4.7 against Cipher Chase's 2.5. Random Room Escape also leads on ratings volume (84 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Cipher Chase's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random Room Escape sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Cipher Chase asks for nothing beyond the download.

Random Room Escape holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Room Escape has 84 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Random Room Escape's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cipher Chase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
