Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snowball at none against Boom Hit's 4. Snowball also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 months vs every 32 months). Boom Hit's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
