Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stonemaier Scores at none against First Player's 1. Stonemaier Scores also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). First Player's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (76% vs 50%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
