Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Blast Arena at none against The iPop's shown. Pixel Blast Arena also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 months). The iPop's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
