Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stick Brawl at none against Gem Warrior's 9. Stick Brawl also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Gem Warrior's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
