Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HERO at none against Spellbinders's shown. HERO also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (92% vs 62%). Spellbinders's advantage is ratings volume (754 vs 132). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
