Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Global Games at Free against FlowRate's $0.99. Global Games also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). FlowRate's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
