Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Down Is Forever at none against DoD's 42. Down Is Forever also leads on ads (none vs shown). DoD's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
