Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Arable Mobile at Free against High Tide's $0.99. Arable Mobile also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8). High Tide's advantage is ratings volume (225 vs 4) and chart position (#108 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
