Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Santa Fighter at none against PPKP's 3. Santa Fighter also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). PPKP's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 63). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
