Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gonga Lite at none against Giraffe Evolution's 11. Gonga Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Giraffe Evolution's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (3K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
