Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Endless Runner 3D at none against Bastion's 1. Endless Runner 3D also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Bastion's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
