Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rhythm Invasion at Free against Axe's $2.99. Rhythm Invasion also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.2). Axe's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
