Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ghourl Run at none against Samurai Flash's 5. Ghourl Run also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Samurai Flash's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
