Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stranger Towers at 5.0 against Stack's 4.4. Stranger Towers also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Stack's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
