The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Alpha GameBox at none against Retro Watch Games's 1. Alpha GameBox also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Retro Watch Games's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
