Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Snowball.io™ at Free against Sub Ninja's $0.99. Snowball.io™ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 38 months). Sub Ninja's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
