Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Run Bird Run at none against Flappy Crush's shown. Run Bird Run also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.6). Flappy Crush's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (90% vs 69%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
