Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Helix Vortex at none against Swing Rider!'s 1. Helix Vortex also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Swing Rider!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 30 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
