Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Traffic Run! at none against Escalators's 2. Traffic Run! also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 27%) and ratings volume (477K vs 40K). Escalators's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
