The clearest difference is price: Deep Moon at Free against Fairy Fire's $0.99. Deep Moon also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 37 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Fairy Fire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
