Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Basketball RUN at none against Arrow Blast!'s shown. Basketball RUN also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 13.0). Arrow Blast!'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
