Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HTML Gems at none against The Abandoned Planet's 1. HTML Gems also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). The Abandoned Planet's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
