Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Air Hockey at 4.6 against Albert's 4.2. Air Hockey also leads on price ($0.99 vs $5.99) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). Albert's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
