Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 飼い猫ぐらし at 4.9 against AfroHamster's 4.1. 飼い猫ぐらし also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). AfroHamster's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
