Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Super Pixelander at none against Sparrow's shown. Super Pixelander also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Sparrow's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
