Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Candy Gun at none against Gumslinger's 14. Candy Gun also leads on update cadence (daily vs monthly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Gumslinger's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 4). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
