Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Stack Town at none against Flow Free's shown. Stack Town also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Flow Free's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
