Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: RISK at Free against Speedy Stacks's $0.99. RISK also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#115 vs unranked). Speedy Stacks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
