Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ninja Runner at 5.0 against Long Sticks's 1.0. Ninja Runner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Long Sticks's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
