Awakenloop's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Awakenloop holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 145 and 85 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Awakenloop's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ember Ruin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
