Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Atomus at none against Play with Snow's 1. Atomus also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (529 vs 6). Play with Snow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
