Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Markov at every 4 days against Ball Sort's every 2 months. Markov also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ball Sort's advantage is ratings volume (272 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
