Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Bird at 67% against Canvas Run's 29%. Tiny Bird also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Canvas Run's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
