Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Falling Note at none against PianoGlow's shown. Falling Note also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (325 vs 11). PianoGlow's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
