Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brighten Up! at none against Dino Bound's 2. Brighten Up! also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Dino Bound's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
