Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Marble Jam at none against War's 1. Marble Jam also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). War's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
