Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 東方魔導録 at Free against DEEMO's $1.99. 東方魔導録 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). DEEMO's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 89). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

東方魔導録 is free to download; DEEMO costs $1.99 up front. DEEMO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 東方魔導録 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DEEMO holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7.
