Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Back Pew Brewing at none against S's 6. Back Pew Brewing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). S's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price and rating there is nothing between them.
