Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Elf Cake Clicker at 90% against (R)evolve's 33%. Elf Cake Clicker also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (526 vs 61). (R)evolve's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
