Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ball Jumper at none against Pac.io's 10. Ball Jumper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 13.0). Pac.io's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (342 vs 8). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
