Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Gravity at Free against Black's $0.99. Gravity also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 1.6K). Black's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (39% vs 25%). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
