Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cart Jam at none against Message Games's 5. Cart Jam also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Message Games's advantage is chart position (#36 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
