Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Splashy Jump at none against Updraft's 4. Splashy Jump also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Updraft's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 71 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
