Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rocket Dive 2 at Free against Arcadia's $1.99. Rocket Dive 2 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). Arcadia's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 10). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
