Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spill at none against Parenthoods's shown. Spill also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 32). Parenthoods's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (14.7 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
