Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Highway at none against Derby Madness's 9. Highway also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Derby Madness's advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 5) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
