Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bloons Supermonkey 2 at 80% against Halfbrick+ Games with Friends's 26%. Bloons Supermonkey 2 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.9) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Halfbrick+ Games with Friends's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
