The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Potion Maker at none against A Girl Adrift's 16. Potion Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). A Girl Adrift's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 121). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
