Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PewPew Live at none against Hellrider 3's 10. PewPew Live also leads on ads (none vs shown). Hellrider 3's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (6.9K vs 64). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
