Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: History Cake at 5.0 against Punc's 4.7. History Cake also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Punc's advantage is ratings volume (165 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
