Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bean Party at none against Pointless Wars's 1. Bean Party also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 22 months). Pointless Wars's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
