Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Arcadia at every 6 weeks against Floppy Chains's every 35 months. Arcadia also leads on chart position (#6 vs unranked) and device support (6 vs 3). Floppy Chains's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $1.99) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
