Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Once Upon a Galaxy at 4.8 against RiftManager's 4.3. Once Upon a Galaxy also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 9) and device support (3 vs 1). RiftManager's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
