Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skate Up at none against LEGO® Friends Heartlake Rush's 15. Skate Up also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). LEGO® Friends Heartlake Rush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (71% vs 62%). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Skate Up holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.6K and 5K respectively.
