Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Throw Switch at none against Swords Maker's 1. Throw Switch also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Swords Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 28 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
