Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spectral at 100% against Ball Action's 39%. Spectral also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ball Action's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
