Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snowball Run! at none against Alpine Rush's 10. Snowball Run! also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Alpine Rush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
