Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Burger Ninja at none against FingerLaserX's shown. Burger Ninja also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). FingerLaserX's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
