Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Strike Fighters at Free against RCS's $0.99. Strike Fighters also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 53%) and ratings volume (398 vs 94). RCS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
