The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hexcellence at none against Arrower's 5. Hexcellence also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Arrower's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 2) and device support. On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
