Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wiki Wars at none against Ballz's 11. Wiki Wars also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Ballz's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
