Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Par Or Perish at Free against Kaamos's $3.99. Par Or Perish also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Kaamos's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
