Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stripes at 4.8 against Ball Drop's 1.0. Stripes also leads on ratings volume (40 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Ball Drop's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
