Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swipe Sort at none against Slide Surfer 3D's 2. Swipe Sort also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 17 months). Slide Surfer 3D's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
