Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GalacticSling at Free against JackArcher's $0.99. GalacticSling also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 months). JackArcher's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 13.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
