Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Swop! at 91% against Escalators's 27%. Swop! also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Escalators's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (40K vs 24). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
