Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Blow Up Bricks at none against Arkanoid's shown. Blow Up Bricks also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Arkanoid's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 24 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
