Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sci at none against Ball and drop's 5. Sci also leads on ads (none vs shown). Ball and drop's advantage is update cadence (every 20 months vs every 58 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
