Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: First Player at 76% against Allplay Games's 32%. First Player also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (212 vs 7). Allplay Games's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
