Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hover Dog at 5.0 against Tiny Red Bird's 3.5. Hover Dog also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 34 months) and ratings volume (19 vs 2). Tiny Red Bird's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
