Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cowboy Swing at none against Pilot 9's 5. Cowboy Swing also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Pilot 9's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
