Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mars at 4.8 against Sinball's 3.0. Mars also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Sinball's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
