Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dunk Ball AR at none against Five Hoops's 2. Dunk Ball AR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Five Hoops's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (119K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
