Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Glitchskier at $1.99 against Project Neon's $14.99. Glitchskier also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Project Neon's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and device support (5 vs 3). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
