Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Storm Circle at none against Raven's 7. Storm Circle also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Raven's advantage is ratings volume (221 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
