Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cursed Choices at every 6 days against 2nd try's every 2 months. Cursed Choices also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). 2nd try's advantage is chart position (#176 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
