Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hoop Rush at none against Rolly Vortex's shown. Hoop Rush also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Rolly Vortex's advantage is ratings volume (305K vs 259) and review sentiment (53% vs 35%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
