The clearest difference is rating: AbsurdScroller at 5.0 against Archers.io's 4.5. AbsurdScroller also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Archers.io's advantage is ratings volume (33K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
