Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Spider Ball at none against FlashTap's shown. Spider Ball also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.1). FlashTap's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
