Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CodeMan at weekly against Menuette's every 5 weeks. CodeMan also leads on chart position (#14 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). Menuette's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
