Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ball Smash 3D at none against Stack's 18. Ball Smash 3D also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 53%). Stack's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (59K vs 1.2K). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
