Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Take 30 at none against Once Upon a Galaxy's 50. Take 30 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Once Upon a Galaxy's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
