Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PunBall at none against Spell Masters's shown. PunBall also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 340) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Spell Masters's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
