Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Escape This! at none against FriendsLoop's shown. Escape This! also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). FriendsLoop's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
