Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Classic 4 at none against Balls vs. Pixels's 2. Classic 4 also leads on ads (none vs shown). Balls vs. Pixels's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
