Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Giraffe Evolution at 4.8 against ci's 3.9. Giraffe Evolution also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 67%) and ratings volume (3K vs 101). ci's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
