Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Pull at none against Message Games's 5. The Pull also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Message Games's advantage is chart position (#73 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Message Games sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. The Pull asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Pull holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of The Pull's written reviews are positive against 92% of Message Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
