The clearest difference is rating: Runaway Ghost at 4.5 against Bit Journey's 4.0. Bit Journey's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (52 vs 2). On price, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Runaway Ghost sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Bit Journey asks for nothing beyond the download.
