Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: History Cake at 100% against Identifier's 33%. History Cake also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Identifier's advantage is ratings volume (177 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
