Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Papa Runner at none against Adventure Beaks's 10. Papa Runner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). Adventure Beaks's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
