Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Surf's Up 3D at none against Skate Space's 10. Surf's Up 3D also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Skate Space's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 2) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
