Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Thistle's Path at Free against DinoBlits's $2.99. Thistle's Path also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). DinoBlits's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
